Hmm, I seem to match up with having a Schizoid personality as opposed to schizophrenic.
7 out of 9.
* Many fundamentally schizoid people present with an engaging, interactive personality style. Such a person can appear to be available, interested, engaged, and involved in interacting with others; however, in reality, he or she is emotionally withdrawn and sequestered in a safe place in an internal world.
Damn you wikipedia and your thoroughness.
Although I don't see myself in danger of developing schizophrenia. I'd say introverts are more likely to develop disorders that cultivate isolation as opposed to extroverts merely by common sense; however I can't be certain of the ratio of schizophrenic INTPs to other personality types.
I should really start seeing my therapist again...
- Emotional coldness, detachment or reduced affection.*
- Limited capacity to express either positive or negative emotions towards others. *
- Consistent preference for solitary activities.
- Very few, if any, close friends or relationships, and a lack of desire for such.
- Indifference to either praise or criticism.
- Taking pleasure in few, if any, activities.
- Indifference to social norms and conventions.
- Preoccupation with fantasy and introspection.
- Lack of desire for sexual experiences with another person.
